The video does seem to show some interaction with the bags of excrement from the youths but it is unclear if it is being set on fire.

A resident told the ECHO that the dog dirt throwing seemed to get worse on Mischief Night as carrier bags were filled with poo.

They added: “They are doing it to cars and houses, the kids play area - it is disgusting and the poo is everywhere.

“I hope the parents see these kids and deal with them themselves, I would go mad if any of my kids ever did that.

“I don’t know where they get these ideas from, why would they even go and pick poo out of the bin in the first place?”

A number of social media users also vented over the boys actions with one suggesting “the bins need to be d**khead proof”.

Halewood neighbourhood inspector Graeme Webster said: “This property is near to a park and over the coming nights, in the run up to Bonfire Night, we will have an increased police presence in this area.

“We will also be examining the CCTV footage to identify those responsible for this despicable behaviour.

“I would like to appeal to those responsible directly, how would they feel if someone did this to their home? How would they feel if their mum, dad, grandparent, friend was subject to such behaviour? I want young people to take responsibility for their own actions - this is not “high jinks” in any way and I’m sure the victims don’t feel that this is amusing at all.”

If anyone has information about the incident contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
